A trading platform claiming to be the world’s first exchange platform taking card payments for digital currencies has launched in the UK.
BinaryFund currently only trades in the crypto currencies bitcoin and litecoin, but plans to add more currencies in the future.
Tedros Mehari, director of Technology at BinaryFund said, "BinaryFund is designed to be secure, instant, reliable and easy.
"We have totally re-imagined the role of digital currency, making it convenient, quick and above all, a natural choice.
"We expect that digital currencies will be widely adopted within the next year to 18 months thanks to low volatility and increased trust, larger investment and more widespread use. BinaryFund is the first step in making this possible."
The platform also claimed to be faster than other exchange platforms, which it said can take days to complete digital currency transactions.
